Go here instead as this forum gets very little traffic. Not likely to get many if any replies in here.

Hello mate where in the UK you from. Welcome to the forum vast knowledge base here

[GSXR7ED]

Welcome--nice bike! I hope the weather cooperates whever you are located in England.

[Scotty1]

I try that forum cheers. I'm from the southwest (Plymouth) I be riding her wat ever the weather lol. Any 1 no how much it will cost in a garage to get the cct done?

[ccmhunt]

Do it your self, we have a sticky on it, and can help you

[TT750]

It cost to much... as ccm said do it yourself its not to hard and you have the forum to fall back on

[scooby601]

There may even be someone really local who has fitted a couple who could help out if needed. (as well as source 1 fairly cheaply)

[Scotty1]

How much roughly we talking? I've never done any work to a bike like this how easy is it? Could some1 post link to sticky please as I'm still gettin used to this app thanks for your replys

[Armi]

Here ya go buddy...Thats a tidy looking bike!

£47.24 posted the to your door for the mcct.

[Armi]

Just a thought but with only 21k on the clock, why would the standard cct go???

[Scotty1]

Thanks.. I couldn't do that myself lol how long does this type of job take to do if you no what your doin or your a mechanic? It may not be the cct it's only from what I've read, when the bikes cold it does not make any noise but onced it's warmed up proper it rattles but not when I rev it up?

[scooby601]

Should take about an hour if your talking to a garage to have someone do it for you, a little longer if you want to have a go yourself.......but not too much longer!!

[andergar]

Nice looking bike! Congrats! Are those rims original?

[Scotty1]

Ideal a hour in the garage plus parts shouldn't be to expensive then about 90-100 quid I think it will be, I'd much rather let some one that knows what there doin lookin at it then tryin it myself. It's a tidy bike I'd end up scratching the fairings and all sorts if I tried it lol. Thanks I'm not sure if the rims r original I assume they are.
Thanks for every 1s help.

[scooby601]

There are many here who didn't know what they were doing who installed them and have gone on to do more work on their own bikes.

IMHO if your gonna have the cct fitted in a garage then have the valve clearances done at the same time, will cost a bit but they will have the valve cover off anyway.

In plymouth your best bet will be 2 wheel technics out at marsh mills, they have been there for years and looked after many a Srad for road and track. Not the cheapest but worth it for his knowledge.

[Scotty1]

I no what ur saying the only way I'm goin to learn is doin it myself but I've ruined past bikes working on them my self, I just want to keep this one nice this time lol

I will defo get the valves done at same time because the seller did mention they may need doin. Ive used 2 wheels for my mots it's only 2mins down the road from me. Ideal! Thanks very much any idea how much it will cost to get the valves done also? Cheers
